Well I am glad it is not my pump, but I now have a question regarding the
coolant warning light. I thought the light went off if your coolant level is
low in the tank, thats what the sensor on top is for. So if an air bubble
gets inside and the sensor freaks out saying it is low on coolant why would
the temp needle go sky high. Is some part of the coolant system actually
getting that hot, or is the computer just trying to get my attention?
